Villa overview - owner's description

Wake every morning to panoramic ocean views and the lull of the ocean and its waves flowing onto the beach. All set in a peaceful refreshing atmosphere.

Sea Symphony villa has since satisfied the needs of many persons from different parts of the globe.

The owners took great care in choosing the perfect location for the villa - a quaint area on the north-west coast of the island so as to experience the Caribbean Sea, but also to experience the quiet relaxed Barbadian life. The proximity to the beach and the rhythmic sounds of the ocean led them to choose the name ‘Sea Symphony’ strongly influenced by their renowned musical background. The excitement of activity is a stone’s throw away and with numerous choices including golfing, water sports, fine dining, shopping and a variety of attractions in Speightstown and Holetown. For the more adventurous, the East coast is also nearby for those who want to experience the rugged terrain and the Atlantic Ocean, which is good for surfing and is a regular stop for international surfing.

Even though you can remain in touch with daily news from your plasma televisions and wireless internet, the Caribbean flare of this coral stone villa with its private pool and lush gardens of over one hundred different kinds of flowers and plants reminds you that you are away from home on a peaceful vacation.

The daily staff is at hand to cater to your every need. The chef has experience in both local and international cuisine and will discuss various menus with you - for the very young to those with the most eclectic of palates or with specific nutritional needs.

The prices quoted are for the six bedroom rental.

A day is not complete until you have explored the clear crystal waters of Fryers Well beach - swim, snorkel or just sunbathe.
Sea Symphony - a gem of a paradise - ideal for friends, families, weddings, anniversaries, retreats, getaways and not forgetting, couples and honeymooners.

The villa was great for our large group. The individual rooms were comfortable and spacious and there were areas where we could all get together. Beatrice kept the house clean and provided an endless supply of clean towels (it was great not to leave with lots of dirty washing!), and Kay did a great job of keeping us all well fed. All the younger members of our party were keen surfers, and there were suitable beaches very close by; in fact the beach just a few yards from the gate had great surf on quite a few days. The pool was big enough to have a decent swim, and there were lots of sun loungers around for relaxing. There were lots of places to visit a short drive away, so we felt everyone was catered for. Lovely villa for a relaxing holiday!

FANTASTIC TRIP !
My husband and I were looking for a villa large enough for our family (16pp) and Sea Symphony fit the bill. The minute we arrived we knew this was going to be a fantastic place to spend 10 days. The staff is incredible, Lucene is a fabulous cook, she made the most amazing meals for us, Marissa and Monica took care of the laundry and house cleaning, and Croft kept the pool and deck clean. Lucene went to the grocery store with us our first trip and was very helpful with the choosing of our food. Croft shared his catch of jacs fish with us one day and Lucene prepared them for lunch, delicious. There was plenty of room in the villa for all of us without feeling crowded. We had dinner in the gazebo every night where we had cool breezes and listened to the waves roll in and the chirping of the crickets. It was a wonderful 10 days, our grandchildren were very sad when the had to say goodbye to Lucene. Thank you Lucene, Marissa, Monica and Croft for making this vacation even more special. Sharon, Peter and the rest of the family.

We were looking for a place to rest, relax and leave our daily routines behind while we joyfully experienced Barbados. You have certainly provided exactly that! We have been very happy at Sea Symphony and all aspects of the villa have worked out very well for our group.In addition, the beach just down the walk has provided us with many hours of fantastic snorkeling amidst an amazing array of crabs, eels, beautiful vibrant fish etc. As you surely know, a building is nothing more than a collection of bricks, mortor, wood and glass. It is always people that make it special. Monica and Eleanor have been very proficient. Theyve cleaned up after us, made our beds, done our laundry etc. and all the time done so in such a way that we barely even know they were there. Theyve been super! and Lucene... Lucene has worked with us to create meal plans around precisely what we were interested in. She provided excellent recommendations during our meal planning and while shopping. All of us have greatly enjoyed all of the delicious dishes that Lucene has so carefully and thoughtfully prepared for us. Lucene has certainly been a wonderful part of our stay in Barbados. Until next time! James.

"A big thank you to you and your wonderful staff for making this one of the best holidays we have ever had. We have travelled all over the world and we were impressed by your hospitality that made our son's wedding an event that will only hold happy memories!"Angela MorrisP.S. We will be back! "Perfect villa for a small wedding""Twelve of us stayed at Sea Symphony villa. What a beautiful place! Very beautiful and airy, lots of places tucked away to read a book and enjoy the sea breezes, and even more cozy gathering areas...by the pool, up in the gazebo, on the upstairs balcony. The beach, while small, was the perfect size for the twelve of us and just steps away from the villa. Early mornings were peaceful, the silence broken only by the occasional crow or rooster (they crow on and off all day in Barbados. I guess they figure someone wants to get up). A car is included with the villa but because there were twelve of us we also rented two vans. Margaret took great care of providing us with delicious meals, what a great opportunity to try new dishes. For the wedding reception, a great buffet was served. We had our wedding reception in the gazebo, a beautiful spot with wonderful cooling winds, then pictures of the pool with wonderful foliage as our backdro p, then down to the beach for even more amazing shots. Overall a great choice. We all want to go back!"Sherwin and Sylvia "Great experience""My family and I have been to the Caribbean a total of nine times and by far this trip surpassed all others. The villa and its staff are so excellent that both my wife and mother in law have forced me to book the same villa next year. The villa is situated in the north of the island and it is in a tranquil and quaint area so that we could have some rest and relaxation. The amenities were more than acceptable a pool which was always occupied by the kids while we went down to the beach which was a stones throw away, a barbecue grill which we used three times as well as a mini gym with a treadmill which my wife insisted on using daily so as not to put on too much weight from the delicious meals made by Margaret and Ann. There was more than enough space in the villa for family activities as well as for some of us to get a peaceful rest while others(the kids usually) were still awake.Sea Symphony and Barbados was something EXTRAORDINARY for us to remember. We give it two thumbs up and we will see you guys next year!!!"Kirk and Linda "We had a wonderful family vacation. The staff is the greatest, helpful and great food.

Fantastic!!!! A breath of fresh air - the treatment we received"MargeOntario

Can't wait to return E and L Hillier, Ontario, Canada.Date of Stay: November 2008 We have stayed at the villa twice and the condo on the hill once. I can't wait to return this year. Missed last year but won't miss it again. The staff are so friendly, the weather is perfect, the villa is beautifully maintained and the food is prepared to everyone's particular tastes. Grocery shopping is an experience and easy, especially, the fresh fish from the locals. Hugh and Dorothy are excellent hosts and I look forward to seeing them in the future.
